Our History and Purpose
For more than 60 years, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee has been centered on the health and well being of Tennesseans. Today, more than 2 million people across the state turn to us for health plan coverage and insurance products. And more than 5 million people nationwide benefit from the services we provide.
We're an independent, not-for-profit, locally governed health plan company - meaning we live and work alongside our Tennessee business customers and plan members. But we are also part of the BlueCross BlueShield Association, a nationwide association of health care plans. Because of this, our plan members have access to the same quality health benefits while traveling or living out of state that they have while in Tennessee.
Guiding Principles
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee values and promotes integrity, honesty and ethics. Through a comprehensive set of principles and guidelines, we continually work to achieve the highest levels of industry standards for business practices, confidentiality, compliance and professionalism. Each code of conduct guideline reflects the high standards employees must meet each day.
